decisions.

I'm packing for our annual trip to the Yorkshire Coast. Well technically I'm sitting here drinking coffee and eating fruit loaf toast and typing but mentally I'm packing. There is no rush, it's less than a 3 hour drive, we don't need anything special, I shall fling a random selection of clothes in a bag and the raincoats in the boot of the car and that will do. The children pack their own things, last time I glanced into Miss K's suitcase there was a cat fast asleep in it. He is not coming......... They do it every time they see the mini suitcases, "no don't leave me..............."
Just need to sort out a few essentials and then we can leave, teabags, a book, and a craft project - can't decide between the sock yarn shawl or a basket of granny squares.................. or something new. decisions are so hard when you are in full summer sloth mode.....

Our cats always make a bid for any suitcase. And though in theory, the boys could pack for themselves, their choices are always 'interesting', so we compromise with them laying their stuff on the bed and me having power of veto! Have a lovely time away.

A break while packing is always a good idea... I think I speak more time breaking than preparing when getting ready for a trip--so much of it is mental. A good cuppa & treat help. ;o) En-JOY the days away, Tess ((HUGS))

I live near the sea in Northumberland where I drink a lot of tea, bake gluten free cakes, make quilts, and walk on the beach. The rest of the family includes J - understanding hubby, Miss K - 17, and E - 15.
